Brilliant and touching

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

In an era where the words "based on a true story" can give seasoned filmgoers a sinking feeling, however, this is a film where the complications and messiness of reality add genuine heft to the drama. Only the Brave is a slow build that follows a group of fire fighters in Arizona where the surrounding forests are susceptible to wildfires. Despite its inevitable conclusion, you will follow this story every step of the way and be crushed when the final scenes play out. It will held your attention and got you in the "feels" on more than one occasion. The movie has a superb ensemble cast of actors in pretty much all of the roles. Highly recommended. 8/10

It s a great movie. Josh brolin and other actors are great also . Loved scenes , fire actions it helped me how to difficult job for firefighters . But i found very long sometime it makes me very bored i given eight point but if you ask me watch again i cant . It s a movie kind of one time watch

Enough has been written well, it's worth seeing for the family. It's real, heroic and sad. Cannot believe how well the truth was told. See the DVD extras too.

Only the Brave is one of the most tragic, honest, gut-wrenching, spot-on movies ever made depicting the wildfire catastrophe killing 19 hotshots in '13. Joseph Kosinski proves that his latitude isn't limited to high concept Sci-Fi with Tron:Legacy and Oblivion on his belt but extends into dead serious, shocking human drama while still providing a deeply satisfying and honorable experience with a great looking, great sounding and perfectly written movie. Only the Brave is one of the best movies I've ever had the privilege to watch. It' s a shame it bombed at the box office and was only released on standard Blu Ray but that shouldn't deter anyone from experiencing it. I give it my very highest recommendation!
